| "Realistically, if our Company is to survive and prosper, over the long term we must |
| get our share of the youth market. In my opinion this will require new brands tailored to |
| the youth market; I believe it unrealistic to expect that the existing brands identified |
| with the an over-thirty 'establishment' market can ever become the 'in' products with |
| the youth group." |

| The tobacco industry frames smoking as an "adult activity." This is an extremely |
| effective strategy. First, adult activities are by definition attractive to many young |
| people. Second, this strategy lumps smoking in with many other adult activities, such |
| as making one's own choices, which are not inherently harmful. The tobacco industry |
| has identified the "forbidden fruit" appeal as an important factor in adolescent |
| experimentation with smoking. Youth access policies should not promote the status of |
| smoking as the forbidden fruit, which is much more attractive to rebellious youth. |
